The House of Saint Laurent has seen steady success since Hedi Slimane, who largely helped make the brand what it is today, departed in 2016. The brand has reached new milestones in the eight years since Anthony Vaccarello took over the helm.
While many have been quick to critique his design strategy, commenting that he has not been quick to reinvent the wheel, he knows what works. Season after season, he nails it, honing in on who the Saint Laurent woman is and designing for her.
One of the House’s most important brand signifiers, The Saint Laurent Cassandre logo has remained an integral part of Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent, and it is center stage once again with Vaccarello’s latest addition. The Jamie 4.3 Pochon Shoulder Bag just dropped for Summer 2024.
Tote It All
For Spring 2018, the Jamie Bag was introduced, bearing all the details of a hit-maker. It had the iconic Cassandre logo, gold chain hardware, cushy leather, and an easy, relaxed silhouette. Designed with modern appeal, the original Jamie is inspired by the brand’s archives.
The Jamie bag reinvents a classic Yves Saint Laurent technique: Carré Rive Gauche quilting. This season, that same quilting is redefined yet again in the form of an easy grab-and-go tote that is as chic as it is useable. Classic quilting sits alongside the Jamie’s other defining details, like the Le Maillon chain strap, another brand signature.
The bag’s open top features a drawstring finish, so it can be worn cinched or open. Its overall dimensions are 15″H x 13″ W x 0.8″ D. Purchase it via Luisaviaroma for $3,100.
Hi Saint Laurent 22.
I mean… the similarities are pretty straight forward!
This Chanel bag is so cute.
I might buy this because I really like the Chanel 22, but I don’t think it’s a long term style for me and don’t want to pay the Chanel price. I actually think it’s a little more understated too, which works better for me.
Another fancy/expensive trash bag.
Got it.
This is the Saint Laurent 22.
Prada has its own Margaux.
Everyone from Alaia to BV to Hermes has an east-west shoulder strap pencil bag.
I wish houses would push their more unusual designs, like the trapezoids at Prada. At least LV is keeping it interesting.
I love this bag. I just bought it and it is the perfect size for travelling. Plus it is really beautiful. I got many compliments. I will use it alot!
